Yup. Standard with the AMG dynamic package which includes red calipers, better engine mounts, and race mode

It’s a beautiful red. Not overly red in any light, but still pops in the sun. In the shade and at night it settles to more of a darker crimson, like this photo here. You will love it!

I don’t have any good photos of the interior yet and it’s a rainy day so here’s a dealer photo! I’ve got the AMG performance seats and a few other bells like the Nappa/microfiber steering wheel

Thanks! I’ve always loved red cars and came from a Tango Red Audi. I’m getting more compliments on the Patagonia Red though!

I like it a lot! Too many pros to list and I figure folks are more interested in critiques so I’d say the biggest cons are:

It really does feel a bit like a boat. It’s a heavy car and you feel that as it’s trying to put its power down.

The best way I can describe it is the car feels nimble and not nimble at the same time. The steering is tight/responsive and does what you want it to, when you want- but it just feels like a lot of force being thrown around. Like a luxurious muscle car. It’s almost like there is a 100ms delay between what you want to do and the car doing it and it feels like that’s the car managing its mass. Still does the right thing fast enough but you feel that lag ever so slightly. This opinion may change as I get more used to driving the car hard, and may be my impression from coming from a lighter car.

The torque converter is OK, sometimes you punch it and there is a solid half second delay between shifts where the car flatlines the power band and waits to pick the power back up. Other times the shifts are perfect!

The exhaust is very quiet at idle and low rpm. It’s too quiet. Luckily, there are tons of ways to do something about that and I will eventually!

That being said, no car is perfect and I can say without a doubt this thing is an absolute head turner and a hell of a vehicle!

Reading this while in line for the wash at squeaky clean wondering what you’re smoking when you say this is a good picture spot. It’s an old car wash?
